No need to fear wild requests!! A roundup of recommended impersonation repertoire for men (11–20)
Hiroyuki Nishimura
Impressions of Hiroyuki, who’s famed as the “Reiwa Debate King,” are also very popular.
Famous impersonators include Yanō from Garibenz and Osada from Chocolate Planet, and I think they really capture his traits well.
For appearance, a center-part hairstyle and a slightly grown goatee are good.
Hiroyuki’s speaking style is distinctive: for example, the way he stretches the ending in phrases like “So, about XX—” is a staple.
At the same time, try to create the vibe that he’s looking upward with just his eyes as if searching for the next words.
It’s not exactly the nicest expression, but he often says “XX is stupid,” with a laugh.
If the time and place are appropriate and the timing is right, slip it into the conversation.
Kenshi Yonezu
Kenshi Yonezu skyrocketed to the ranks of top artists with the massive hit “Lemon.” He’s an unconventional artist who also works as the Vocaloid producer “Hachi.” His unique lyrical worldview and the soundscapes he crafts are captivating, drawing in many listeners.
The distinctive way he sings—his pronunciation and vocal technique—makes him especially fun to imitate.
Since each song features different sounds, try finding a track that feels approachable to tackle!
Kazutoshi Sakurai
It’s no exaggeration to call Mr.Children a national band.
When you go to karaoke, it feels like someone is always singing their songs, right? (lol) So how about mastering an impression of Mr.Children’s frontman, Kazutoshi Sakurai, and learning the tricks to sing like him? Once you get the hang of it, you can do an impression with any Mr.Children song—a super reliable go-to bit! The great thing about a singing impression is how easy it is: you don’t need to match the hairstyle or clothes as long as the singing sounds similar.
Kent on this side
Triggered by his signature song “Hai Yorokonde,” Ken-to Kocchi, a singer-songwriter, broke out in a big way in 2024.
Since people of all ages are likely familiar with him, his impression should be easy to perform in almost any situation.
If you get the chance to go to karaoke, singing “Hai Yorokonde” while doing the impression is sure to get the crowd going! Practice thoroughly so you can mimic his vocal tone and the way he delivers the rap parts.
His image color is green, so it’s also a good idea to incorporate green into the items you wear.
Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse, Disney’s main character who’s probably known by everyone around the world.
If you can produce a slightly higher pitch using his distinctive laugh “Ha-ha!” as the base, you might be surprised how well you can imitate his voice.
Rather than speaking seriously, exaggerating the laugh can make it a crowd-pleasing impression.
Try getting laughs by delivering unexpected lines, too!
Sunplaza Nakano
Mr.
Sunplaza Nakano-kun, who debuted as the vocalist of Bakufu Slump, has long been loved for his distinctive way of speaking and energetic performances.
Just imitating his staging from the Bakufu Slump days and his playful yet powerful manner of speaking will instantly liven up the room.
The key points are the accents in how you project your voice, his unique mic work, and performing small gestures in an exaggerated way.
Since he himself is a bright and strong character, amplifying that vibe tends to generate laughs.
It’s also recommended to mix in his signature shouted calls and choruses from his hit songs.
Lean into the atmosphere to the fullest and let the audience enjoy it together with you!

Eikichi Yazawa
Even past 70, Mr.
Yazawa is still going strong.
I think this is an impression anyone can try—young people, and of course those who are older as well.
First, the first-person: Yazawa refers to himself by his surname, saying “Yazawa wa,” and that’s a must! It’s a perfect hook to grab the audience’s attention.
If you have long hair, go for a pompadour, and a red Yazawa muffler towel would really help too.
His singing also has a distinct style: if you extend the final vowel at the end of phrases, it really captures the vibe.
For example, instead of “yoru ni,” sing it like “yoru nii~.” Let’s recreate the excitement of a live show with popular songs everyone knows!
